Model S Owner Age

Sounds like the old ASL inquiry from my bachelor chat room days...35/M/AK

Looks like I might be the 1st <25 that responds if I go through with ordering one, ha.

Unfortunately, this poll has too much inherent bias to be relevant. Because communicating through a discussion forum online selects a little for a younger crowd to begin with I suspect. Though I can be and have been wrong before.

i'm 36.

Where's the "older than dirt" choice?

67 and 55---That should skew things a bit!

34 here.

Young enough that I hope to be able to live long enough to be ever awed frequently to hear
"Yeah, of course my first car was electric".

yea unfortunately this poll is probably skewed more towards the younger side as we kinda grew up these technologies forums internet chat etc. its kinda hard to extrapolate any real data from it. if you're too young, you probably can't afford a $100k car yet unless you were born into wealth or making loads in the tech sector right out of college (or perhaps a genius that even skipped college). if you're too old you might know about Tesla but not know what an internet forum even is (no offense, but my parents and all my friends parents and pretty much everyone I know in the 50+ age is technically illiterate, but that's just my family and friends). however, i would guess the actual avg age is way over 40 or 50 just due to the fact of how expensive the car is. i dunno. even I'm just pulling numbers out of my arse so really the only thing this poll is going to show is the average age of a TMC member LOL

youbigd, you hit the nail on the head.

If OP was able to poll the credit card companies we used to plunk down our deposit (or contact the person who leaked NSA stuff) ... different story ... or Bank of America ... you get my drift.
Fwiw, I am over 21, under 80. Help?

Im 17. Made a few investments to get just enough to buy it.

Can one of the mods remove the word "Junior" from Jdcleary's profile?

I started a thread on this is the main Tesla Motors forum, and with 405 entries, the average age of all Model S owners that replied was/is 48.1.

And, contrary to some of the commentary here, there was a wide range of ages, from 20's to 80's...In general I might agree that forum use would tend to skew younger...But a lot of the people who have been following Tesla have an greater-than-average appreciation for technology, and are probably more than just a little bit "computer literate," regardless of their age. Keep in mind, most of the early Model S reservations/orders happened on a computer/online. If there was any way to actually verify the average age, I think hi-40s/low-50s is a fairly accurate assessment.

Here's a link to the thread, for those interested:

I Get my car In September, so I wont vote yet - but Im aged 25 years young.

Lower 30's here. Got my dream car thing out of the way before my mid-life crisis. First of my friends and immediate coworkers to get one. Some think I'm crazy. Some think I'm some kind of idol now. All I can say is that more people ask me to go lunch with them now.
